Gold, Lemon Oscars?

[FINWIN]

Happened to be glancing at Aquascape Online. They have some nice variant Oscars, including Wild, Gold, Lemon, and Ruby Red.

AquaScapeOnline We sell a wide selection of piranhas, stingrays, cichlids, plecos, catfish and rare oddball tropical fish.

Wonder if the lemons and golds hold their color into adulthood? I've heard cases of mis labelling. If I had another big tank I'd get one!

Platinum too! Wonder if the color is stable now. My dream tank would be one O of each color morph!!

Because many of the line-bred oscar color varieties have been around for decades (I first saw variants back in the 60s), the genes for those colors are probably set, as long as they are from breeders that maintain the lines, and cull out the % that aren't up to a certain standard.
